Check geometry

Menu access: Shape | Manage | Check geometry

Description:

Allows to check the validity of a shape on the modeler (Parasolid) front.

General philosophy:

Select the shape to check.

Available option(s):

The button  ALL SHAPES  allows you to check all the shapes of the document and move the invalid shapes to a specific layer.

The option  Show problems= YES  or  NO  allows you to create or not a " set of the check results" that you can edit in the construction tree.

The button  CLEAR CHECK SET  allows to clear the set generated when you use the function above.

Specific point(s):

A shape can be invalid if its topology or its geometry has incorrection. For example, if a face of a shape is auto-intersecting, the face is invalid.

If an element is invalid, the complex operations (as fillet, thicken, offset, 2D projection,...) will probably not work.
